Rong Rong, if you want to buy a cave, does that mean you have already decided on the address? Where is it? "
Shu Pinghui asked.
The mirror reflects: "On the beach of Yuhai."
Shu Pinghui: "Ah... Hey, why don't I feel surprised?"
Jing Yingrong: "With your strength, you can challenge for a higher position."
Shu Pinghui: "No, if you go too high, you will be driven away by the senior brothers and sisters who live on the top of the mountain. They are not willing to share the spiritual energy with more people. I am not sure I can beat them now, and moving to the cave is troublesome. , don’t take this risk.”
Jing Yingrong thought for a moment and said, "Have they joined forces?"
Shu Pinghui: "Yes, it's a tradition. The strongest people group together and occupy a whole circle from the top of the mountain. Although they can't fight with more and less, they can engage in wheel battles tomorrow and one by one the day after tomorrow. It's annoying, but the gap in cultivation is not even a big level. So I can either hide in the cave for a long time on the grounds of seclusion, or don't stay in the cave but it will be a waste of my good position, or I can integrate into their circle after being strong enough and move there in one fell swoop. Go to the top of the mountain.”
Jing Yingrong thought for a moment and said, "If it were you, would you do what they did?"
"Hmm..." Shu Pinghui frowned, "To be honest, I'm not sure. Although I don't like their approach now, when I am in their position and circle, it's hard to say whether I will Being coerced and influenced by that environment, I became like them.”
Jing Yingrong nodded.
They entered Qingwu City, and when they arrived at the housing construction office, they were greeted by a waiter who was responsible for guiding them and said enthusiastically: "You two fellow Taoists, do you want to buy a cave?"
Jing Yingrong: "I want to buy it."
“Do you want ready-made or custom-made?”
Jing Yingrong hesitated this time.
"Hmm...customized. I want to try it and design it myself."
Waiter: "Then do you need to ask a craftsman to guide you?"
Jing Yingrong said simply: "Need it."
Shu Pinghui: "I also want to hire a craftsman."
"Okay, let me introduce you two to two well-received craftsmen here. Be careful, don't get touched."
The waiter motioned the two of them to move to the side, and then they saw a large group of craftsmen walking out in a hurry. Everyone had a bunch of storage bags hanging on their waists, and some of them were holding tools of different styles in their hands. They were talking excitedly about something, and their words were mixed with words such as "generous", "heroic" and "accepting disciples".
After they passed by, Shu Pinghui asked the waiter: "Is there an elder from the sect who accepts disciples?"
The waiter was surprised and said: "You two don't know? The Supreme Elder of our sect, Tongsheng Daojun, wants to accept Senior Sister Gao Rong as his disciple. He has already announced it to the inner sect."
Shu Pinghui: "So that's it. We just entered the inner gate, and this is the first time we heard about it."
The waiter suddenly realized: "No wonder." He pointed to the direction where the craftsmen were going, and continued: "They are going to decorate the ceremony venue and build a new cave for Senior Sister Gao."
Shu Pinghui asked curiously: "Is there no building space on Chuxiao Peak?"
The waiter shook his head: "Indeed, no. As far as I know, Chu Xiaofeng, as the dojo for direct disciples, only has various cultivation-related places, so if direct disciples have other needs, they will come to our Yingyu Island. They can go The ones with the most are undoubtedly Yuming City and Zhouyun City."
Shu Pinghui said "Oh" and then asked: "The ceremony of accepting disciples of the Supreme Elder must be very grand."
A smile appeared on the waiter's face: "This is natural. Our entire inner sect will be honored to watch the ceremony. I heard that if you are lucky, you can get unexpected benefits at the ceremony venue."
The waiter led the two people into two adjacent rooms. In the room that Jing Yingrong entered, a young monk was sitting at the table waiting.
The waiter introduced Jing Yingrong. This young monk was the craftsman he had found for Jing Yingrong.
After the waiter exited the room, the craftsman asked with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Mirror, do you have any specific ideas and ideas for the cave?"
Jing Yingrong shook his head.
"Then what absolute requirements do you have for the cave? For example, large space? Or, low cost? Short construction time?"
Jing Yingrong still shook his head.
"So do you have a favorite style? Simple? Gorgeous? Majestic? Or just plain?"
Jing Yingrong was about to shake her head, but she saw the craftsman's face darkening, so she stopped, lowered her eyes and thought seriously for a while, then slowly said: "I live by the sea, and I hope that the scenery of the cave and the sea will match. "
The craftsman was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
After a while, he opened the fingers of his hands on the table, and each of his ten fingertips spit out a filament of spiritual power that emitted a faint light.
The filaments of spiritual power continued to extend, intertwined and condensed with each other, and a simple model of a cave mansion was quickly constructed.
Mirror Yingrong's eyes were slightly bright.
"How about using this as a rough look?"
"Can."
The craftsman smiled and then asked about the details.
"Where does the main entrance face?"
"This direction."
"Do the rooms need to be more divided?"
"It doesn't take much."
"Do you need a yard?"
"want."
"How many formations are you planning to draw? You don't have to be too precise, just give me a rough idea."
"none."
"..."
Time passes unconsciously.
Every time Jing Yingrong gave an answer, the craftsman controlled the filaments of spiritual power and made corresponding changes to the cave model.
Finally, he gave his own suggestions and carefully adjusted the model after obtaining Jing Yingrong's consent.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
The craftsman said please come in, the door opened a crack, and Shu Pinghui's face appeared.
"Rongrong, I've made my decision. How are you doing here? Can I wait for you outside?"
Shu Pinghui opened the crack of the door and asked.
Jing Yingrong glanced at the craftsman, who nodded, and then she said: "It's almost done. You can come in."
Only then did Shu Pinghui enter the room. When she got closer, she saw clearly the model of the cave in the hands of the craftsman, and exclaimed: "Wow, it looks good!"
The corners of the mirror's lips raised slightly.
Craftsman: "As for the color, I suggest you leave it all to me. As for the building materials used..."
Jing Yingrong: "Leave it to you too."
The craftsman laughed: "I want to ask about your budget."
Jing Yingrong: "Within seven million contribution points."
The craftsman shook his hands.
Jing Yingrong: "...It can be a little more."
"No, no, that's enough."
The craftsman smiled bitterly and cut off the spiritual power filaments on his fingertips. "Please give me three days. After three days, I will inform you of the complete cave information and total cost."
"good."
…
After that, Shu Pinghui asked Jing Yingrong about her next plan.
"I want to visit the Enlightenment Tower in the mountains, what about you?"
Jing Yingrong pondered for a moment and said, "I want to meet someone."
"Okay, let's see you next time!"
Saying goodbye to Shu Pinghui, Jing Yingrong returned to the foot of Yingshan Mountain.
